Chapter 2183
Brenden had met Henrick at the meeting and greeted him with a smile.
Alice also nodded slightly.
Henrick just glanced at them indifferently and then looked away. He naturally put his hand on Alma's shoulder. When they stood together, one was handsome and the other was soft. They were really a well- matched pair.
Alma felt a burst of joy in her heart. She had known him for so long, and this was the first time that he had taken the initiative to approach her and had physical contact with her.
Her goal was to take advantage of the time when the two of them were putting on an act to make him fall in love with her.
She didn't have any family background. The only thing that could make the Alwynn family accept her was that Henrick truly fell in love with her.
Alice looked at the hand that was on Alma's slender shoulder and felt a sharp pain in her heart. It turned out that he already had someone he loved. Fortunately, she had given up. Otherwise, her heart would be more painful at this moment.
This girl was very beautiful, pure and gentle. She also had a good figure. He liked this kind of gentle girl.
"By the way, Alice, when we get off work in the evening, let's go to the River City Hotel to have dinner together. I heard from you before that the dishes there are a big feature of River City." Brenden had been working in Lemmon City since he graduated, and rarely came to River City. Now that he was here, he naturally could not miss it.
Brenden's words brought her back to reality. She answered happily, "Well, I'll accompany you during this period of time and we will eat all the delicious food in River City." Alice smiled, but her heart was already riddled with holes.
Henrick's black eyes narrowed slightly, but he recovered in an instant.
Out of the elevator, Alice took Brenden to the opposite direction of Henrick and the others.
Her family was not short of money. When she went out, she would not feel wronged. She could eat whatever she wanted.
Henrick didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help following them with Alma.
They entered a specialty restaurant together.
Alice liked spicy food, and Brenden also knew that as they had dined together before.
After leaving the company, he took Alice directly to eat.
"Alice, I've seen it. Spicy food really is the best. The fish you like is smooth, tender and refreshing."
"Ah, ah, ah... Don't say that. I'm almost drooling. Do you know when I ate that fish last?" Her taste buds were bursting. The fish dish could really make her forget all her worries.
Brenden smiled and said in a very gentle tone, "I know, the last time we went to the countryside to talk about cooperation; it was almost a month ago."
"I haven't eaten it for a month. You don't even know how much I miss it. The one you took me to the last time was really good. Let's wait for the things here to be completed and then we'll go and eat again." She suddenly thought of it and didn't pay attention to the person behind her.
When they arrived at the restaurant, it was lunchtime. They arrived early and found a table.
They found a table near the window and sat down.
They were not artists, so they could travel and live freely.
It was also different for Alma. Although she was a little famous, she didn't have many fans.
Henrick was different. He was not only the second son of the Alwynn Group, but he had also been a famous actor for many years.
As such, he was bound to be targeted by paparazzi whenever he went out.
Photos of him were captured as he and Alma walked side by side. However, Henrick did not notice that and brought her into a private room in the same restaurant.
Alice saw Henrick and Alma walk past them in the restaurant.
She was instantly relieved. She took a sip of the tea on the table and suppressed the pain in her heart.
When Brenden was ordering, she calmed herself down and sent a message to the children. At this time, her son and daughter were having lunch at school.
She first sent a message to her daughter, "Juliet, have you eaten yet?"
Then, she asked her son, "Have you had your meal?"
Juliet answered, "Mom, I'm eating. When will you come back? I miss you."
Marlon replied, "Mom, remember to bring me toys when you come back."
Alice replied to both Marlon and Juliet's messages with a smile.
Alice followed up with a message, "Juliet, I miss you so much. Listen to your grandparents. I'll be back soon."
"Marlon, I'll bring some good toys back for you."
Her two children were very smart and Juliet was quiet and well-behaved.
Marlon was very much like a certain someone that she often had the urge to hit him.
The private room was quite large. From Henrick's point of view, Alice's smile was very sweet. It was a kind of happiness from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, all his previous worries were unnecessary. This woman had long forgotten him. She no longer pestered him and sent him messages everyday.
That was clearly a good thing for him. He should be happy.
However, why couldn't he be happy?
"Henrick, do you have something on your mind?"
Alma found that he was always absent-minded that day.
Henrick shook his head slightly and looked at her. "It's okay. I just didn't sleep well last night. I've been abroad for a long time, and I haven't gotten used to it since I came back." He found a random excuse, and he couldn't help looking in Alice's direction.
The dishes they ordered had been served, and Brenden just picked up a piece of fish for Alice and put it on her plate.
He then put on a disposable glove to peel a piece of shrimp for Alice and fed it to her personally.
She opened her mouth with a happy smile.
"Brenden, it's so good. The fish is really delicious. It smells good and makes people want to dance."
She liked to eat fish, and she could also cook many kinds of fish dishes herself.
"I knew you would like it. There's a lot so take your time!" Brenden looked at her eating happily, and there was a little doting in his eyes.
Alice kept nodding. She was sure that she would be full after this meal.
Henrick had a good eye. Brenden's eyes were full of love and affection. As a man who often acted as a male lead, what did that look mean to him?
He wasn't in the mood to eat. He didn't answer Alma's questions, nor did he know what she had said.
Alma noticed his gaze and she kept looking at the man and woman outside.
She knew that these two people were the screenwriters of this movie.
It was just that the screenwriter was very beautiful, and her temperament was completely different from hers.
Alma looked weak and pitiful. Men would take pity on her at first, but over time, they would lose interest in her character.
Over the years, she had always made herself more outstanding and worthy of Henrick.
However, Alice looked capable and confident. Her smile was beautiful, her teeth were very white, and her almond-shaped eyes were like stars. Compared with Alma, Alice was more like the female lead in the author's hands, so perfect that she made people feel ashamed.
Thinking of this, Alma felt a sense of vigilance in her heart. Henrick was hers, and no one could take him away.
